Tasks for a Rainy Day

It has been cold and damp outside and staying in is a treat. Since I am in the house I have finally been getting things in de-holiday condition. The tree went down, in its box, and was carted into the garage yesterday. It's really too big for the box and the box broke open (despite about 40 yards of strapping tape), so I stuffed it back in and tied it with some rope left over from Mom's move last summer. Boy Scouts are taught to tie proper knots. I hope that Girl Scouts and Camp Fire are now teaching that same skill. We ladies have to have talents in all sorts of areas these days.

I've also had a few extra laundry loads this week (part of being a member of the sandwich generation) and I can tell you that there isn't a much better activity on a cold day than folding laundry. It smells nice and it's warm. Now I'm off to the living room to move furniture.
